The Best Available Free Agent for Every NFL Team Entering Training Camps

NFL training camps are set to begin and rookies have already reported for some teams. This doesn't mean that 53-man rosters are anywhere near set. You are going to see a tremendous amount of battles take place in the coming weeks.

You are also going to see some solid veterans added to camps throughout the NFL preseason. The reason for this is because there are still a ton of solid players remaining on the free-agent market.

This article is going to focus on the top remaining free agents from each NFL team. You are going to see former Pro Bowl performers, washed-up veterans and marginal players on this list.

Arizona Cardinals: Brandon Keith, Offensive Tackle

Brandon Keith has started 20 games at both tackle positions for the Arizona Cardinals over the course of the last two seasons. He is definitely a liability in pass protection, but is solid in the run game.

A team looking for a backup along the exterior of the offensive line would get someone with experience here. While Keith isn't starter caliber, he will add to the depth aspect of the game.

Keith last worked out with the New England Patriots at the end of May and hasn't been seen on the free-agent circuit since.

Baltimore Ravens: Andre Gurode, Center/Guard

Not often do you see a five-time Pro Bowl performer on a list like this so close to the start of the preseason. Andre Gurode has been one of the best centers in the National Football League since being drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the second round of the 2002 NFL draft.

Gurode played guard for the Baltimore Ravens last season, which should help his chances of catching on with a team as a flexible player. It just won't be with the Ravens, who are deep at every interior line position.

That being said, Davis has seen his game drop off a great deal since the start of the 2010 season when he joined the Buffalo Bills. He has struggled a great deal against the run and appears to have lost a step.

Expect Davis to be a late training-camp addition by a team looking to upgrade in terms of depth.

Carolina Panthers: Jeremy Shockey, Tight End

The former first-round pick will not be a consistent threat in the passing game. Rather, he will be brought in to make plays on occasion as a primary backup.

We haven't heard much news about the enigmatic tight end in recent months. The Charlotte Observer indicated back in March that the Carolina Panthers weren't closing the door on Shockey, but it's more likely he signs elsewhere.

As with most running backs, Benson started slowing down in his late 20s, which indicates his days as a featured back are over.

He still can, however, make an impact as a rotational guy.

I predicted that Benson would go to the Green Bay Packers in a previous article last month. There are now reports that Green Bay has joined the Oakland Raiders as top suitors for the enigmatic running back.

Dallas Cowboys: Kyle Kosier, Guard

As one of the most unheralded offensive linemen since being drafted in the seventh round of the 2002 NFL draft by the San Francisco 49ers, it is hard to imagine that Kyle Kosier is currently without a team.

He can play all offensive-line positions outside of center and has been a solid force in the run game in three NFL stops.

Despite this, the Dallas Cowboys cut ties with Kosier earlier in the offseason.

Denver Broncos: Andre' Goodman, Cornerback

Andre' Goodman has been a solid, not spectacular performer, as a cornerback in the NFL over the course of the last few seasons. He became a starter, by default, with both the Miami Dolphins and Denver Broncos.

Teams around the league can still rely on Goodman to be a solid nickel or No. 4 corner, adding depth to the defensive secondary. That being said, he just isn't a starter for an above-average secondary.

Green Bay Packers: Ryan Grant, Running Back

In terms of workload, Ryan Grant isn't that old. In fact, the former Green Bay Packers starter has rushed the ball 500 times less in his career than Adrian Peterson.

He still does have that one thing bringing him down in the free-agent market: age. He will turn 30 towards the end of the 2012 season.

However, it is important to note that Grant did have consecutive 1,200-yard seasons for the Packers in 2008 and 2009. He is going to be a valuable addition to a team looking for a third-down type of guy.

Houston Texans: Jake Delhomme, Quarterback

Not much to see here. Most of the Houston Texans free agents have either signed elsewhere or agreed to a new contract with their current franchise.

Jake Delhomme is four years removed from being anywhere near a reliable quarterback option in the National Football League. He caught on with the Texans last season after both Matt Schaub and Matt Leinart went down to season-ending injuries.

Seattle Seahawks: Mike Williams, Wide Receiver

The Seattle Seahawks made an emphatic statement about their receiving corps when they released Mike Williams earlier this month. The former first-round pick of the Detroit Lions struggled a great deal in 2011 after a breakout campaign the prior season.

He caught just 18 passes in 12 games and consistently struggled catching the ball cleanly on the outside. This is something that Pete Carroll and the Seahawks' brass had to take into account when they released the veteran.

There is definitely going to be some strong interest in Williams moving forward. He still seems to possess the necessary talent to be a strong contributor.

St. Louis Rams: Jason Brown, Offensive Line

Jason Brown has started double-digit games at either center or guard every season since the start of 2006. While he has been serviceable in both NFL stops, Brown really isn't at the point of his career where he is going to anchor or dominate along the interior of the offensive line.

What he will bring is experience, depth and versatility heading into the 2012 season.
